Optimal location of electrical generation from urban solid waste for biomass power plants

Today, with the increase in population, the use of fossil fuels has also increased; On the other hand, this increase in population has led to the production of more municipal solid waste, which is itself the source of environmental pollution. One of the ways to reduce waste pollution is to use it to generate useful energy such as electricity, which reduces pollution and provides part of the required electrical load. In this study, the study area of Hamadan city is considered to have an average municipal solid waste production of about 420 tons/month. Homer software has been used to analyze the amount of electrical energy produced, and economic and environmental analysis has also been done. One of the outstanding results of the research is the production of 229,735 kW/year of electrical energy. Electrical energy generation with biomass resources will reduce Co2 and Co emissions by 77.2 and 7.96 kg/year, respectively. The cost of energy (COE) for this system is 0.177$/kWh.
